1. Meeting introduction, guidelines

Business as usual. Confirmed that the required numbers of Council and residents were present, so the meeting is legal and official.

2. Visit from Vineyard Council

DapperCoat_ and Science_Friction joined us to talk about two matters.

• On the subject of North and South Dwarven. Recently a Northern representative called the Vineyard Council to a meeting in which they discussed a possible North Dwarven and Vineyard alliance. When Vineyard opted for neutrality (no alliance), Science_Friction was assassinated (he got better) by anvil, and two other council members were similarly targeted. Later, however, it was revealed that the assassin, Thorek_Ironmane, was not the leader of North Dwarven. The true leader came forth and condemned the vile actions. Vineyard wants all districts to know that they do not condemn North Dwarven for the actions of Thorek_Ironmane and his associates, all of whom have been declared traitors to North Dwarven.

• The Vineyard Carnival is opening soon! It's been a long-standing project by the Vineyard Council, and they're excited to announce that they will have a day-long grand opening event, with each district invited to participate. The opening date isn't set yet, but stay tuned for more information.

3. Visit from Netherward Inquisition

DerPartyCyclops and Amzahr, members of the Netherward Inquisition, joined us to speak about the FMG (Full Murder Gang). The Netherward has heard of the problems that the FMG has been causing in the Dunes (and other districts), and wanted to assure us that the Ward condemns the actions of the FMG and that the FMG in no way represents the Netherward. The Inquisition will be addressing the problem themselves, and strongly request that no "witch hunts" be conducted in the Netherward by residents/officials of other districts hunting down members of the FMG. If a member of the FMG needs to face trial for crimes committed in the Dunes, then our respective leaders will cooperate accordingly.

4. Dunes UHC!

Dunes UHC happened right after this council meeting and it was awesome!!

5. Plot Caretakers Needed

The Dunes is looking for two plot caretakers currently:

• Natural History Museum (North Yellow 2)
• Dunes Welcome Center (East Yellow 4)

If anyone is interested in owning those plots and helping offer valuable services to the Dunes community, please contact any member of the Dunes Council!

6. Event: Super Ultra Mega Awesome (SUMA) Fun Day (Mar 28)

The Community Event Planning Committee (CEPC) has announced the Super Ultra Mega Awesome Fun Day. The Dunes has been invited to create an event in the Dunes that will draw people to our district during the fun on March 28. The Barrens is also planning to participate, and our two districts may end up collaborating on multiple events. If you're interested in participating with ideas, or your plot, or food/drinks, etc., contact DrLolzworth!
